Super Mario Maker looks neat, especially if there's someway to upload your custom levels online to let other people play them.

I'm expecting a lot of levels in the similar vain as this:

While I think the concept of "winning" E3 is beyond stupid, of course a Nintendo fan will say Nintendo "won" because OBVIOUSLY they'll be the most interested in what they show just as a Sony fan will claim "Sony won", I think its really silly to over exaggerate what Nintendo actually gave us.

-Smash Bros showed off 2 new characters. Cool, although nothing exciting. Palutena we've known about for months and the Mii was sort of always going to happen.
-Yoshi's Wooly World. Yoshi's New Island was panned for being absolutely nothing new for the Yoshi series and this looks so similar to the point of Nintendo parodying themselves. Aesthetics and 2-Player is literally the only new things here.
-Mario Maker. Kind of cool, but not a huge reveal.
-Captain Toad. This is insane. The mini-games in SM3DW were painfully boring, I laughed at the people who were like "these are so good they deserve their own game" because they really didn't. But now they are.
- Zelda U. We've known about this since the Wii U launch and the Direct really didn't give us much to go on.
-Pokemon AR OS. Nothing new here.
-Hyrule Warriors. Midna, but otherwise nothing new. A pretty tall claim about "every Zelda character being in" was made but I'm betting Skull Kid, Deku Link, Zora and Goron will assuredly not be here.
-Splatoon. The only truly new game shown, but it really wasn't particularly exciting.
-Star Fox U. Possibly awesome but so little was shown it barely counts.

Hell the best part about the Nintendo E3 was a Mario Kart DLC leak that turned out to be fake. It was a very disappointing E3 and definitely not what Nintendo needed to save the Wii U's dwindling sales.

Well, I said if they unveiled GTAV for the PS4 I would go out and buy one immediately and I meant it:

Screw GTAV, Uncharted 4 sealed the purchase for me but I'll wait until Batman and it get a little closer to release date.

[Powerman293]

I'll buy a Ps4 once the wave of "remastered" last-gen ports stops being the biggest releases of the year.

My biggest problem with Sony's conference (and Microsofts) was that most of the games they showed were things that can be played on other systems. The ones you bought especially, not only can they be played on the last-gen systems, but you could upgrade your PC for a similar price and play them in better quality on that.

In my opinion, that's why Nintendo did better. At least their games are things unavailable elsewhere. For the record though, I'm not trying to shout "NINTENDO WINS" because that's absolutely going to depend on your taste in games. Microsoft and Sony had some cool stuff, just not enough that I can't already play on my PC.

Zelda was easily my favourite game of the show though, no matter how brief the showing was. Especially if the rumours about the main character prove true.

Well, Destiny is coming out first on PS4 Farcry 4 is also an exclusive, as is Uncharted. They showed plenty you can only get on those systems, and I doubt MGS 5 is going to be on PC.

There are a few things with that though. I get where you are coming from, but the reason Nintendo showed games that aren't going to be on any other system is because no one else is really supporting the Wii U, which I think is worse than having a game you can play on other places.

Secondly, Sony showed us a lot of first party titles. Uncharted 4, ANBU, The Order, LBP3, and then Bloodborne is PS4 exclusive. MS did show Halo, Crackdown 3, and Sunset Overdrive, all exclusive to them.

Third, Nintendo's conference was barely 45 minutes, the other two companies had a 90 minute conference. In fact, if you cut out all of the pointless skits and talk, Nitnendo really only showed games for about 20 minutes while MS showed games for about 70 minutes and Sony for 65 minutes.

Finally, I am not a PC gamer. Never have been never will be. I find that there is too much maintenance involved to be one because you have to always keep a check on viruses, have the settings optimized to the fullest, unplug the tower from one part of the apartment and take it to the TV to plug it into the TV, have the internet always on because games are DRMed, you can't sell a PC game if you don't like it, etc. Plus, I see no difference in graphics between a PC game and a PS4 game. Oh, and Sony is one of my favorite gaming companies, so I cannot play their games on PC. There is no God of War, Uncharted, or Twisted Metal on the PC.

Nevertheless, that is why I think the gamers won E3. Every company showed games for everyone and for almost every type of genre.
